Of course, part of the firmness of it probably comes from the coating, which seems to be applied thickly and covers the entire exterior of the hair piece. I would not be surprised if the surface treatment was designed to be used with this kind of plastic, since it flexes with the hair and seems to be rather securely adhered.<br /><br />I'd be curious what type of coating it is in fact... some type of acrylic, maybe? It does have the sort of squeakiness I associate with that. But then again, who knows if we'll ever get specifics... I don't even think we know what sort of plastic formulation Lego's rubbery hairpieces use in the first place.Andrew Barnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11723179808721244651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-58864344277143706212019-01-09T11:08:06.500+00:002019-01-09T11:08:06.500+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.hygrotushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263223922174492466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-73932362427380022082019-01-08T00:04:15.655+00:002019-01-08T00:04:15.655+00:00@Elspeth:

Zaster from the Agents theme, and I think it soured them on the idea of paint apps on rubber hair for a while. The painted stripes bonded so badly that you could basically just get a good grip on one end between your fingernails and peel each stripe off in one piece.Purple Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-41677193054203112612019-01-07T23:57:45.523+00:002019-01-07T23:57:45.523+00:00Still don't get what happened with the retro r...Still don't get what happened with the retro ray gun. It first appeared with the S1 Robot, so we know they made a mold for use in China. Then it started popping up in European sets, but I can't see any difference between the one that's held by my first S1 Spaceman, and the red one that only came with the SpongeBob set. So, maybe they cut a second mold for Europe, or maybe they just had the parts shipped from China. Then just a few years later all the European sets get a new version. The only functional difference I can see is that the recessed stud on the right side (which is deeper than the one on the left) has a collar that prevents bars from going in any deeper than they do on the left side. But since the only CMFs to feature a retro ray gun since 2014 (S17 Retro Space Hero and TLBM2 Killer Moth) got a completely different version with no studs anywhere, part of me still half-expects to see the original S1 Spaceman gun pop up in another CMF at some point. Maybe.Purple Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-65756273528651724832019-01-07T19:21:13.450+00:002019-01-07T19:21:13.450+00:00It looks awesome with a shiney cheap plastic feel ...It looks awesome with a shiney cheap plastic feel to the touch as the underlying hair is malleable haha.
